Amazingly, there is such a thing as a microcontroller that goes for less than a dirt cheap logic IC 3 cents in volume: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYhAGnsnO7w Cheers Klaus

Awesome! -- Thanks, - Win

I bet there's not much chance of it going EOL soon by the look of things either hundreds and hundreds of thousands available that is _remarkable_

What amazes me is that we are currently looking into ASIC design, and we cannot even get the package for 3 cents, including test vectors. So how do they do an entire micro for 3cents out of the shop? Cheers Klaus
